SuperPhillip's Favorite VGMs - Retro Round

This Monday I've selected seven videos that are from seven classic titles. These include games from the Game Boy, Super Nintendo, and Sega Genesis. Hope you enjoy this week's videos now including descriptions to further enhance the experience.

Quite simply, it's the theme of Pokemon Kanto region town, Cerulean City. This is the place where your trainer meets up with the water Pokemon gym leader, Misty.

Let's do another Game Boy classic, shall we? This time it's the catchy Athletic theme from Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins. Essentially, this song is the main theme of the game. Enjoy.

It's time for another two-fer. This time our subject is the first Sigma Palace theme from Mega Man X and its remixed version in Mega Man Maverick Hunter X.

Now we have a boss battle theme from the fantastic RPG, Breath of Fire II, Clean Hit. Here's hoping Capcom brings the Breath of Fire series to current gen platforms!

I used to play this game so much as a kid. It's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters, the SNES version. It had a very good soundtrack, too, mind you. Hope you like the Cafeteria track, Raphael's stage.

Tetris Attack is my favorite series of puzzler. I've put more hours into it than I'm willing to be proud of. This theme is actually Lip's Theme which is a recurring theme in various Tetris Attack/Panel de Pon games. For this SNES classic, it's played during training. Enjoy.

Finally, this is an old classic and a favorite of many. It's the theme of the Ice Cap Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
